That was the rope-a-dope right? Saving the juice for the 3rd.

By the skin of their teeth...

Wow. And thank god Medvedev isn't in there to help relieve the defensive zone pressure with a good first pass or carrying it out on his own.

And the PP is just pathetic. Ghost should get bumped to the 2nd unit and move Streit up to the 1st, see how that works. And with the 2nd unit ultimately out-performing the 1st, maybe Ghost gets some more time to get some shots on net. If the Caps gift the Flyers with any more PPs...

I hope you're right ... unfortunately I see the Flyers being even MORE passive in the 3rd.

What's the record for most icings in a game? We might break it.

Flyers are totally getting owned by the Caps everywhere except the scoreboard. Thank god for that lucky bounce off the caps skate as the flyers look absolutely toothless at 5 on 5 and on the PP. 5 PPs and a total of 7 shots for the game (not counting the deflected goal)?

If they win this game they need to build a shrine to Neuvirth.

All that matters right now is that the Flyers are winning as much as I know that annoys some of the posters..

It's obvious the Caps are dominating..I'm sorry the Flyers suck..

Hopefully they come out of the third and actually try to generate some offense because that second is not sustainable..

They should just start with the 2nd unit on the ice. They've been better for a few weeks, not just this series.

Why single out ghost on the first PP?
I'd swap G out with Gagner too.

Like I said...good thing Flyers are getting owned on the scoreboard..

Why are people so opposed to giving the Caps credit right now?

- opeth_pa


Not sure how you give the Caps credit for a Flyer skating up the ice with no one around then proceeding to chip the puck right to a Capital player. I guess I can give credit to the coach for telling his players to be in the right position and knowing when the Flyers will give them the puck?

Only thing keeping this game not being the same as Game 3...goaltending and a lucky break for White.

- Marc D


Let's just say that they'd be well-served in not taking an early penalty

If they can just pop them on a counter, chip one past a D-man and go on a 2-on-1...I've seen teams win games where they've been dominated. We all have, when you get the first goal

But yeah. It's gonna be hard in the third

Agreed, but Flyers commentators hyped him up so much for having a good game against Jagr once that fans think he was good.

yep, seeing your goalie stand on his head is great ... but it's not exactly a sound strategy.

I'm trying to figure out if it's dog tired, or deliberately passive.

The chances of them winning with another period like that are about as high as the chances of Wentz being worth what Howie paid.

Third period would be a great time for Giroux to make some noise. Damn. He has got to show up soon. I wonder if he is nursing an injury. He got banged around a lot down the stretch. Wouldn't be surprised if he is dinged up more than we know.
